Happenings

Two new items happening in my corner that may be of interest. First up, there's a new BEAT to a PULP webzine short story called "Clean" by Zakariah Johnson. A horrific gem that begins tantalizingly with, "Swish-swish-swish. Swish-swish. Swish-swish-swish ..." I met Zakariah on Twitter and he kindly answered my call for some new BTAP tales.

And then there's my latest article for LitReactor, "In Defense of The Soft Machine's Cut-Up TwistedLandscape." I've taken up the mantle of defending this, most would conclude, indefensible novella by Beat legend William Burroughs. Doubtful I change anyone's mind but I had a lot of fun trying.

Not much, but there you have it. Now I'm heading out for a walk, put some miles on the pedometer. Enjoy yourselves, friends.
